I've Been To Nevada

     I have lived in California all of my life and have visited Nevada many times.  Lake Tahoe is probably one of the most picturesque places on earth and is contrasted by the starkness of the nearby Nevada Great Basin.  Reno has changed a lot and on a recent trip I couldn't believe the growth in the area. Carson City has a freeway bypass which has returned the Capitol City into a sleepy little town once again with a Costco.  Virginia City has not changed a bit and I haven't been to Las Vegas in a very long time.  I have never been to Duckwater.
     Is there an airport in Duckwater?  Where would you go to get a flight out to go anywhere in this wonderful world.  Would you hop a flight out of Ely, if Ely has an airport, to catch a connecting flight out of Las Vegas or would you drive directly to Las Vegas?  I don't know.
     I was trying to be humorous when I talked yesterday about the stage coaches out of Duckwater.  It is probably a modern city with all the conveniences such as a gas station and a 7-eleven, at least a convenience store. I know, most people living there have cars. Do they have cell pone service? In these modern times, most places do.
     I don't know a thing about Duckwater and I shouldn't be teasing about it as I am doing.  Hold on, let me google it.  I will be right back.





     I am still working on it.  My computer is old and slow.







     Here it is.  Duckwater is a semi-ghost town located on or near a Shoshone Indian Reservation.  By the way, there is an airport in Duckwater, now I know. The town  is  located on the same latitude as Sacramento, California and a majority of workers living in Duckwater  make their living through carpentry. It is 170 miles from Las Vegas, so I am assuming that people when they want to fly to other parts of the world they travel to Las Vegas. There is also a cemetery, a place where many in Duckwater are dying to go to--that was bad, but you had to know I was going to take the shot. I am sure that Duckwater is a nice place, just small and located in the boon-docks.
     So, don't get mad at me for writing this, Duckwater.  I am sure that many in this world don't know that you exist, and judging from the number of readers of my blog most people in the world will still not know you are there. Your reputation and existence are safe.

Sun's up over Duckwater International. Not really, It is actually a picture of an airport in Michigan as I haven't been to Dukwater to take a picture of their International Airport.   

     By the way, what is the weather like in Kuala Lumpur?
